Scotland were outclassed from start to finish.
Nothing won yet tho

What a player young Mudryk is going to be

From which I gather that Ukraine beat Scotland.
So, well done both teams. I heard the Scottish manager on the radio today and he was very honest and sporting, but acknowledged that, though Scotland had fought hard to get to this match, they would continue to fight hard, but accept and celebrate a Ukranian win. (Or words to that effect.)

Well said anneasquith.

Ich, nothing won but a chance for the next round.

I really appreciate anne's non-partisan post. I always bang on about the lack of sportsmanship, but the OP has met my highest expectations - good for her.

Someone mentioned a bet earlier that Ukraine would win and both teams would score.
What was the score?

[choux]

1 - 3, sandy.

[ichkeria]

3-1

[anneasquith]

Thanks choux, but I’m not the only Scot who feels the same tonight .

[ichkeria]

The odds can’t have been great sandy

[sandyRoe]

Congratulations to Ukraine and whoever had the bet.

[choux]

Fair enough, anne, but I have seen your post only ;)
You know I like you really!

[sandyRoe]

Wee apples are sweet.

[anneasquith]

I think Ken had a bet on Scotland to win ?

Off to Cardiff Sunday ;-)

I am happy for them, it would have given everyone in Ukraine a lift.

Believing that home advantage would enable Scotland, I backed them to win with both teams scoring at 5/1. BTTS & Ukraine to win was 13/2. Both excellent prices for that sort of bet, ich.
Scotland were pre-match favourites @ 13/10 with Ukraine about 2/1.
Netherlands are 2/1 to win away versus Belgium tonight but you can only get 9/2 on them doing so with BTTS.

Interestingly, I apologised to a friend of mine in Glasgow about the result and she said: “oh don’t worry we were all supporting Ukraine!”
And yet many of the Ukrainian orphans who attended free were saying they’d be happy if Scotland won!
I was there when Scotland played Norway in France 98 and the rival fans were virtually hugging each other!
